OUR STORY
Three Decades of Uncompromising Standards.
Driven by continuous improvement. Built on absolute reliability.
A Partnership Built on Quality
“We started in January 1996 with $500… we had a plan to have a different janitorial company. Our customers, they know when HOTT comes in, it’s going to be done right.”
— Maria Peicu, President & Founder
“It’s like a partnership. You feel like they care about my business just as much as they care about their business. Once you start working with us, you’re going to stay working with us.”
— Brian Schindler, Vice President & Technical Specialist
Direct Employment. Deep Trust.
“Our quality level is markedly better than our competitors. As in many organizations, your staff is the key. Maria is the guts of that part of the organization; she is the one who hires 95% of our people.”
— Brian Schindler, Vice President & Technical Specialist
“I interview them personally. People in the facilities are used to seeing the same employees there, and that’s how they gain a trust. It’s a familiar face… like part of their family.”
— Maria Peicu, President & Founder
